Nova 2 Lite

Nova 2 Lite is Amazon's lightweight multimodal model that processes text, images, and video with a 1-million-token context window.

Strengths

It handles multimodal input across a million-token context, offering an extended window compared to the original Nova Lite's 300K limit.

Best for

Applications requiring long-context reasoning over text and visual inputs where latency and resource overhead are concerns.

Limitations

As a lightweight model in the Nova family, it trades reasoning capability for speed and efficiency; for complex reasoning tasks, Nova Premier or Nova Pro are better suited.
